The only 'new_state' values passed by upstream kernel code to
scsi_internal_device_unblock_nowait() are SDEV_RUNNING and
SDEV_TRANSPORT_OFFLINE. These are the only values that should be passed to
this function. Hence check the value of the 'new_state' argument to avoid
that scsi_internal_device_unblock_nowait() would be used to trigger an
illegal SCSI device state transition. In this context 'illegal' means not
allowed by scsi_device_set_state().
